On this Unity Day USA, we, the people of the United States of America of every faith, race and ethnicity, will gather to express our commitment to co-existence, safety, prosperity and the well being of our nation.

As Americans we uphold, protect, defend and celebrate the values enshrined in our constitution. All our faiths reinforce the creed of "One Nation under God, with liberty and justice for all”.

One
of the communities we are appreciating at this Unity Day USA is the Sikh
Community, for setting an example that forgiveness, patience, forbearance, and
kindness are the right values, and the right thing to do when tragedy befalls a
community. Their response to the Wisconsin Gurudwara massacre was exemplary and
reflects the teachings of Guru Nanak the founder of the faith and every one of
the spiritual masters from Zarathustra, Confucius, Moses, Krishna, Jesus,
Muhammad, Buddha, Baha'ullah, and other great spiritual masters.

If
you also wish to list your organization as a " Participating organization " in supporting this

among Americans. Their pioneering spirit in facilitating communities to know
each other and to respect each other is appreciated by the people of Dallas/
Fort Worth. On this day, we appreciate and celebrate their contributions towards
building a cohesive America, where no one has to live in apprehension,
discomfort or fear of the other.
